If Windows-related ads bother you enough, then there is an option:$25/year removes ads on the front page and forums.

Alternatively, you are asking us to turn down much more than $25/year so you don't have to see Windows-based ads. Obviously, we would like 100% Mac ads if that was an option.

I don't want to try to invoke a sob story about how much it costs to run the site, since we're doing ok... but MacRumors does require a lot of resources to stay up as well as it does, and we're spending a fair amount to expand just for the MWSF keynote day itself.

The ads help support MacRumors, as does use of the MacRumors:Shop system.

ha nice plug. pricegrabber is an awesome site actually, one I knew about before this website. Maybe you have noticed this or know the answer Doc, but going to regular pricegrabber and navigating the site is sooo much faster than hitting it through MR, what's the deal?

Good to hear from you Arn, hope all is well. I don't know if anyone pointed your attention to it, but I got into a bit of a debate about the user titles and forum post options. It was actually very productive, but the mod suggested we ask your views; so having run into you.... it is in feedback and under thread titled spam filtering. we can go pm/email if you prefer and need more of the links.
